505 Raising fame
In the disaster of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many scholars were dissatisfied with the eunuchs, and they could only stay at home if they were implicated. And those scholars who were hunted down by the imperial court, the more the imperial court intensified the pursuit, the greater their fame would be. Wherever they fled, they would be taken in. In the course of their escape, they fled to any place where their reputation would be carried with them. Later, they all became famous people all over the world, and the objects of admiration of people all over the world.
"An Shi doesn't come out, like the common people?" This is what Xie An, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, talked about back then. Xie An, whose name is Anshi, was a genius of the Xie family at that time. Less well-known for his Qing talk, he was initially recruited by Situ, except for Ren Zuo Shulang, who resigned due to illness. After that, he lived in seclusion in the East Mountain of Shanyin County, Huiji County, and traveled with Wang Xizhi and Sun Sui, and educated the children of the Xie family. Since then, he has repeatedly refused to be ordered by the imperial court. At that time, everyone in the court had heard of his name, but every time he wanted to make him an official, he refused with various excuses.
It is precisely because he refused the imperial court many times and then lived in seclusion in the mountains that his reputation is getting higher and higher. In the end, a group of scholars in the Eastern Jin Dynasty began to tout, saying, "An Shi does not come out, such as the common people?" Such a sigh.
More than 700 years have passed. In the Northern Song Dynasty, this sentence appeared again, and it was attached to the body of Wang Anshi, the famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi did not live in seclusion, he was only twenty-two years old when he was admitted to the Jinshi. After being admitted to the Jinshi, he did not stay in the capital as an official, but spent most of his time in the local area. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Beijing officials and the local officials were completely different. If you want to be promoted, if you want to enter the highest levels of politics in the empire, if you want to become a real high-ranking official, Jingguan is the best. Especially for a scholar like Wang Anshi who wants to be talented and famous. But Wang Anshi was in the place for the next twenty years.
Wang Anshi has made remarkable achievements in local government, and he will be appreciated by the local government every time he goes to a place. So much so that the imperial court at that time wanted to see Wang Anshi, but every time the holy decree asked Wang Anshi to be an official in Beijing, he refused. If he refuses once, then his prestige will increase by a cut. Refuse a year, two years, to twenty years, thirty years. It is the so-called "30 years of negative hope of the world".
And in the Ming Dynasty, many Qingliu's favorite was the court staff. Not only were they not afraid of the staff, but they wanted to endure it once. Because this is bragging capital, it can become famous in the middle of the clear stream. Therefore, they often deliberately contradicted the emperor, hoping that the emperor would reward them with a court staff after he got angry.
In fact, no matter which one it is, these are all kinds of prestige. In ancient China, many scholars deliberately raised their fame before or after they became scholars. With fame, it's much easier to do anything.
Rist looked at the invitation that flew like snowflakes and knew that it was time for Messi to raise his reputation. There have been no examples of this in the history of football, but few have actually succeeded. If the most successful thing is the current depressed Brazilian agent predator Ribeiro.
Ribeiro's most classic transfer was the transfer of Neymar. At a time when Brazilian football superstars were lacking, Neymar was born. Speaking of which, Neymar at that time was not necessarily much better than the previous Brazilian genius. But Ribeiro made Neymar the first person in South America at that time. And then without stopping to reject the rejection of the European giants. He didn't refuse once, but his fame grew. Everyone's interest is even stronger. In the end, Ribeiro kept jumping between Real Madrid and Barcelona. In the end, Neymar's fame turned out to be similar to that of Messi, Cristiano. Ronaldo, the world's top superstar at the time, was on par. I have to say that Ribeiro's method of fame for Neymar is very good.
Neymar's transfer to Barcelona is also full of insiders. Neymar got tens of millions of euros in the transfer, and his salary after transferring to Barcelona is also at the top like Messi, and there is even news that his salary exceeds Messi.
Of course, Ribeiro was also unlucky. Like Kaka when he abandoned him, Ribeiro made Neymar the world's first talent at the time. Let him become the object of competition among European giants. Ribeiro helped Neymar make a name for himself in South America, where he was already one of the highest-paid players in world football. But everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, and when Neymar was about to transfer, Neymar kicked Ribeiro out, and then made his father his agent. When he finally transferred to Barcelona, huge benefits went into Neymar's pocket, and Ribeiro just became a role to make money.
However, Ribeiro's previous packaging for Neymar is definitely the best in the world. A young player who had never proven himself in European football became the attention of the world football at that time, and was able to compete with Messi, Cristiano. Ronaldo is a superstar on par. Ribeiro's credit is number one.
That's all Rist has to do now, and all he has to do is learn from Ribeiro's tricks. Rist wants to make Messi a player that the giants of world football are vying to invite, so that his fame will continue to grow. In the middle of this, push Messi to another height.
"PSV Eindhoven's talented star is moving to Arsenal!"
"Messi's agent meets with Coach Arsene Wenger."
"Arsene Wenger thinks Messi is a once-in-a-50-year talent for Argentina!"
"The next Maradona is coming to Arsenal!"
Since it was the beginning, the first person Lister met was Arsene Wenger. Arsene Wenger has a joke on the Chinese Internet that Wenger is a professional price hiker. In European football, there are clubs who want to sell their players at a high price. When the news is released, he will say that his player is fancy Wenger.
Arsene Wenger is a hallmark in European football at the moment. Arsene Wenger has not been crowned for many years, and now Wenger wants to have a championship and be famous. Especially when it comes to developing players, Arsene Wenger is definitely an authority on European football. Because Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Ljungberg, Cesc Fabregas are the best examples there, and who doesn't admire Arsene Wenger. Otherwise, Calderon would not have said that sentence later, as long as Wenger is a fancier, there is no need to investigate.
In fact, Rist and Wenger didn't talk a lot about Messi when they met. Arsene Wenger had just opened his mouth when he was rejected by Riester. Wenger did not force it, because Rister had already rejected Wenger several times, telling him that Messi would never go to the Premier League. The two of them still talked about the Premier League this season. But as soon as the two men met, the media immediately began to play with their imaginations.
Of course, it was Lister himself who gave them the news. Rist was deliberately letting people know that he was meeting Arsene Wenger. By the time Arsene Wenger met with Rister first, the newspapers were full of news.
'Chelsea are willing to spend fifteen million euros to bring in Messi.'
"Messi enters Cherny with an annual salary of more than three million euros!"
'Galliani says Messi will be as successful as Kaka.
"Liverpool are the closest to Messi! Liverpool coach Benitez and Messi are the same agent! ”
The number of clubs has begun to have a relationship with Messi. The World Youth Championship continues, but Rist has been meeting the biggest names in European football. After the semi-finals, Messi's market rose even more.
Because Argentina beat Brazil 2-0, both goals were scored by Messi. Although there are no too good players in Brazil this year, it is also the Brazilian national youth team. However, Messi scored one goal in each half of the game. Eliminated Brazil directly and entered the final of the World Youth Championship.
Messi's performance in the World Youth Championship has attracted the attention of the entire European football world. All the media are paying attention, all looking forward to what Messi will reach. Of course, they are also curious about who Messi will end up with. So many giants are paying attention to Messi, which one will Messi choose.
"Rist, Mr. Moratti is really sincere."
"I'm sorry, Ernesto."
If other clubs are interested in Messi, it has not yet reached the point where it must be introduced, it is just a preliminary contact. So this one, who came over this time. It's not just about getting in touch with Rist. Also in contact with Eindhoven. They came up with the contract for real money. Messi must be brought in. This is the Serie A giants Inter Milan.
Moratti genuinely likes to collect geniuses and superstars, and sent his envoy over to negotiate with Lister. The special envoy of Inter is Ernesto. Blonzetti. This is Inter's royal agent and has a good relationship with Moratti.
He is well-connected in Italian football, although he does not have too many heavyweights under his hands. But this person has a lot of energy in Italy. The transfer in Italy, as long as it is said by Bronzetti, there will be no change. Many of Inter's transfers were negotiated by Blonzetti for Inter.
Although Rist has rarely entered Italian football, he knows a top agent like Blonzetti. Because Bronzetti has a good relationship with Inter and has a deep relationship with South America.
"Ernesto, go back and tell President Moratti. Let's just say that Leo is still young, and I don't want him to enter the big club so soon. Leo will not leave PSV Eindhoven this summer. ”
Italy, a player like Messi can't go to Italy. The big fish that Rist is going to catch now has not yet appeared, and what Rist is waiting for is the Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. They showed some interest though. But there is no actual contact, and it is still in the wait-and-see stage.
"Rist, Mr. Moratti is very sincere."
If it weren't for Messi, Bronzetti would have been celebrating in Italy right now. Because he had just met Florentino in Spain and helped Inter win Samuel at a low price. It's just that Moratti has a crush on Messi again. That's why Brunzetti came to the Netherlands.
Rist smiled. Moratti is a man who runs the club with the mentality of a fan, and his conditions are really good. As long as Rist agrees, then Moratti will give Rist, the agent, a fee of four million. and is also willing to give Messi an annual salary of two million euros after tax. Of the clubs that have been in contact with Rister so far, Inter are in the best condition. And Inter Milan is really coming up with a contract, as long as Rister agrees, they will operate.
It's a pity that Serie A is not Lister's dish. Messi is the first person in world football in the future, so Rister will not send Messi to Serie A, which is gradually declining. If it was in the 90s, everyone was rushing to Serie A, but unfortunately now Serie A is already behind La Liga and the Premier League.
"Ernesto, it's not about the money. Leo still needs to exercise. ”
Blonzetti left, but the conditions proposed by Inter were released by Lister. Anyway, there are too many news around Messi now, and so many people don't know how to distinguish the real from the fake. But everyone in European football knows one thing, that is, Messi is the first day of world football.
Messi's market is getting higher and higher now, and it is not one or two who are nervous. The first is that PSV Eindhoven are nervous because Messi's new contract has not yet been signed. Messi wants to go too easily, PSV Eindhoven does not want to give up Messi so soon, and according to the previous contract, Messi's transfer fee will not be too high. So PSV Eindhoven have been anxious lately to sign a new contract with Lister.
The other is Messi's sponsor, Nike. Nike has been sponsoring Messi since he was 14 years old, but Messi's sponsorship fee was very low before. Now it's different, the current Messi has become a favorite in European football, and his fame is rising. Nike's contract with Messi is about to expire, and Messi's current upward momentum has many brands blushing.
Adidas, Puma, they are all paying attention to Messi's development. Adidas, Nike's nemesis, in particular, is now keeping a close eye on Messi. Messi has become a representative of a new generation of players, and Adidas is certainly hoping to snatch Messi away from Nike. Therefore, Nike has already sent executives to discuss the issue of contract renewal with Lister. It's just that Lister is not too satisfied with their conditions.
One of the first things to be tackled in the process of the World Youth Championship was the renewal of the contracts of Messi and PSV Eindhoven. PSV Eindhoven is really in a hurry, Van Hanyi thought that Rister's requirements were a bit too high, but at this time he was completely passive. can only agree to Lister's request in full.
Before the World Junior Championship final, Rist and PSV Eindhoven finalised a final contract. A new four-year contract with an annual salary of 1.2 million euros after tax has come out. In addition to the fixed salary, PSV Eindhoven have significantly increased the bonuses for goals, assists and championships. If PSV Eindhoven can win the league title next season, and Messi can score about 20 goals, then Messi's salary can probably reach about 2 million euros a year. That's definitely a very high salary in the Eredivisie.
After signing a new contract with Messi, Van Hanyi was very excited and said to the media: "Leo is a player in the PSV Eindhoven academy, he is the treasure of PSV Eindhoven. Want to take him? Forty million euros or less. ”
Van Hanyi really regarded Messi as a cash cow, and directly said that there was no 40 million euros not to offer.
